The Lion Storyteller Bedtime Book

My daughter, age 6, loves this book. She is an avid reader, so she reads the stories on her own but loves them so much she begs me to read them to her as well. They are good, entertaining stories, and we like that the table of contents lists what country the stories originated. Also, the stories are pretty short so when your child begs for "one more story" before bed, you can actually say ok.

We checked this book out of the library & I just HAD to get one of my own. I am reading it with my 5-year-old son for the second time through now - we both adore it. It is especially written to be read aloud & you can tell. Charming stories from all over the world give us a glimpse into those cultures. We are buying them for ALL the nieces, nephews and cousins for Christmas this year!!

These stories are timeless; they relate complex moral truths in a palatable symbolic form. They are well written for interesting and animated storytelling. They are not very long. In a nutshell, this book contains the perfect recipe for my active three-year-old! And you'll love the stories, too!

What adorable and likeable stories - my five year old can't get enough of them. Is it a good sign when Mom is sick of reading them because they've been requested so much? This book,and a book of quirky, local bedtime stories from Florida (Bob-Tales by Bob Morgan) are the only two Leslie will let me read to her at night! Buy them both now!!

This book contains 40 stories from all over the world -- and they are the perfect length to tell at bedtime, 2-4 pages each. There are selections from Africa, Java, Brazil, Japan, North America, France, Russia, Egypt, Spain, Norway, Wales, Austrailia, Scotland, Puerto Rico, Greece, England, Finland, Germany and India -- and one new selection by the author. However they are all great stories (there isn't even one that I wouldn't want to read to my daughter) with sweet illustrations. You could probably even read 2 or three stories a night in the same time it would take to read a regular story book.
